Sorry if this is insensitive but; what are "we" supposed to do to have more women write songs? People are so quick to point out male dominated professions, but what exactly is the purpose of pointing it out - what does the author intend to accomplish?

[akomtu]

The most progressive way to solve it would be for more male song writers to identify as females and publish songs under theix new names.

I don't think the author is trying to spur you to action. Like most articles, it's meant to make you think.

Seems to me that the author doesn't approve of how men are currently behaving, and so they probably want them to change, right?

> but it actually suggests something more vital: you cannot talk about the history of music without talking about men actively limiting the musical activities that women were allowed to participate in, sometimes via physical or sexual violence.

> men have continually tried to define what is appropriate for women to do in music. When you listen to women who have worked in the industry, you’ll see that these attitudes have persisted.

Make me think about what? I want to listen to good music and don't give a diddly damn if it came from an X or a Y chromosome.

You are supposed to go on liking what you like. You don’t have to like what other people tell you you should like instead.
